고용량 파장다중분할(WDM) 전송 시스템의 수요가 폭발적으로 증가함에 따라 기존의 erbium-doped fiber amplifiers(EDFA)가 제공하는 이득 대역을 넘어서는 대역폭의 광증폭기의 개발이 촉진되고 있다. 에르븀 이외의 새로운 회토류 첨가물을 사용한 증폭기와 광섬유 내에서의 비선형 현상인 라만 산란에 의한 라만 증폭기에 집중적인 연구가 그 예라 하겠다. 최근 몇 년간의 집중적인 연구를 통하여 현재의 광대역 광 증폭기는 기존의 EDFA(C 벤드 EDFA)가 제공하는 광이득대역의 4∼5배 정도를 쉽게 제공할 수 있다. 이러한 목적을 가지고 통신시장에서 사용될 수 있는 1500nm 근처 대역의 증폭에 대한 세가지의 증폭 기술이 연구되고 있다. 우선, S+밴드(1450-1480nm)와 S밴드(1480-1530nm)의 증폭을 위한 thulium-doped fluoride fiber amplifiers(TDFFA), C 밴드(1530-1560nm)와 L 밴드(1570-1610nm)를 위한 EDFA, 그리고 마지막으로 100nm 이상의 이득대역과 S+에서 L밴드까지 증폭파장대역의 선택이 자유로운 라만 증폭기가 있다. 또한 위의 세 기술을 직렬 또는 병렬로 조합하여 사용하는 증폭기가 있다. 이러한 증폭기 모두에 대해서 실험적인 보고는 많이 있었으나, 내부의 에너지 준위가 복잡하여 증폭 기제가 복잡하고, 실험 파라미터를 측정하기가 어려워서 광대역증폭기의 성능을 예측하기 어려운 점이 있었다. 게다가 이러한 상황에서 광대역증폭기에 대한 해석적이거나 수치해석적인 심도깊은 연구가 부족하여 앞으로 증폭기를 다양하게 응용하기 위한 성능의 예측이 어려울 것으로 보인다. 이는 광대역 증폭기 기반의 전송 시스템을 성공적으로 적용하는데 제한을 줄 것이다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 광대역 증폭기(C/L밴드 EDFA, 라만 증폭기, TDFA)에 대한 실험적인 분석뿐만 아니라 해석적, 수치해석적인 분석 방법까지 그 응용의 예와 함께 소개할 것이다.

There is a big risk of bullet impact because military rotorcraft is run in the battle environment. Due to the bullet impact, the rapid increase of the internal pressure can cause the internal explosion or fire of fuel cell. It can be a deadly damage on the survivability of crews. Then, fuel cell of military rotorcraft should be designed taking into account the extreme situation. As the design factor of fuel cell, the internal fluid pressure, structural stress and bullet kinetic energy can be considered. The verification test by real object is the best way to obtain these design data. But, it is a big burden due to huge cost and long-term preparation efforts and the failure of verification test can result in serious delay of a entire development plan. Thus, at the early design stage, the various numerical simulations test is needed to reduce the risk of trial-and-error together with prediction of the design data. In the present study, the bullet impact numerical simulation based on SPH(smoothed particle hydrodynamic) is conducted with the commercial package, LS-DYNA. Then, the resulting equivalent stress, internal pressure and bullet's kinetic energy are evaluated in detail to examine the possibility to obtain the configuration design data of the fuel cell.

A water tube with detonating cord was devised to control the blast dust. Water diffusion experiments with different detonating cord positions were conducted during the series of experiments to optimize the design parameters of the tube. Images from high speed camera were analyzed to evaluate the results. AUTODYN program was adopted to simulate the diffusion process of water and compared with the images. Diffusion of water shows cross flow in case of external charge while the internal case shows radial flow. A bubble ring was formed during the numerical analysis of internal charge case as occurred in underwater blast. An additional bubble ring was formed by the reflection pressure from the ground. And the Weber number was determined as sufficient for spray atomization performance of the water tube.

A naval shipboard inevitably movies in a pitch and roll direction under the influence of wave and wind in the sea. As a result, the shipboard gets in a continuous turning motion back/front and right/left. And the shipboard is also constantly exposed to many different kinds of disturbance signals including the vibrations of various frequencies from the internal equipments and their vibrations, strong waves, and impact from explosion. This paper formulates multi-body dynamic models similar to an actual system and simulates the pitch/roll positions of a 2-axes gimbals with PI controller for consecutive behavior of a naval shipboard including disturbance.

Hydrogen is emerging as an alternative fuel for eco-friendly ships because it reacts with oxygen to produce electrical energy and only water as a by-product. However, unlike regular fossil fuels, hydrogen has a material with a high risk of explosion due to its low ignition point and high flammability range. In order to safely use hydrogen in ships, it is an essential task to study the flow characteristics of hydrogen leakage and diffusion need to be studied. In this study, a numerical analysis was performed on the effect of leakage, ventilation, etc. on ventilation performance when hydrogen leaks in an enclosed space such as inside a ship. ANSYS CFX ver 18.1, a commercial CFD software, was used for numerical analysis. The leakage rate was changed to 1 q, 2 q, and 3 q at 1 q = 1 g/s, the ventilation rate was changed to 1 Q, 2 Q and 3 Q at 1 Q = 0.91 m/s, and the ventilation method was changed to type I, type II, type III to analyze the ventilation performance was analyzed. As the amount of leakage increased from 1 q to 3 q, the HMF in the storage room was about 2.4 to 3.0 times higher. Furthermore, the amount of ventilation to reduce the risk of explosion should be at least 2 Q, and it was established that type III was the most suitable method for the formation of negative pressure inside the hydrogen tank storage room.

Steel-concrete single-leaf blast-resistant doors are protective structures consisting of a steel box and reinforced concrete slab. By the domestic blast-resistant doors, the structure is not designed efficiently because few studies have examined the effects of variables, such as the blast pressure, rebar ratio, and steel plate thickness on the structural behavior. In this study, the structural behavior of the doors was analyzed using the FE method, and the support rotation and ductility ratio used to classify the structural performance were reviewed. The results showed that the deflection changes more significantly when the plate thickness increases than when the rebar spacing is a variable. This is because the strain energy absorbed by the door is reduced considerably when the plate thickness increases, and as a result, the maximum deflection becomes smaller. According to a comparison of the calculated values of the support rotation and the ductility ratio, the structural performance of the doors could be classified based on the support rotation of one degree and ductility ratio of three. On the other hand, more explosion tests and analytical studies will be needed to classify the damage level.

The subsea pipeline pre-commissioning stage consists of the following processes: Flooding, Venting, Hydrotesting, Dewatering, Drying, and N2 Purging. Among these processes, drying and nitrogen purging processes are stipulated to reduce and maintain the relative humidity below dew point to prevent the generation of hydrate and the risk of gas explosion in the pipeline during operation. The purpose of this study is to develop an analysis method for the air drying and nitrogen purging process during pre-commissioning of the subsea pipeline, and to evaluate the applicability of the analysis method through comparison with on-site measurement results. An analysis method using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) was introduced and applied as a method for evaluating the relative humidity inside a subsea pipeline, and it was confirmed that analysis results were in good agreement with the on-site measurement results for the air drying and nitrogen purging process of the offshore pipeline. If the developed air drying and nitrogen purging analysis method are used as pre-engineering tools for pre-commissioning of subsea pipelines in the future, it is expected to have a significant impact on the improvement of work productivity.

Penetrator with enhanced lateral effect (PELE) is a novel projectile that does not require dynamite and a fuse. It comprises a high-density jacket that is closed at its rear end and filled with a low-density filling material. To study the explosion characteristics of PELE using AUTODYN-3D code, the calculation models of the projectile body and the bullet target were developed and the process of penetrating an aluminum-2024 alloy target using PELE was simulated. The scattering characteristics after PELE penetrated the aluminum-2024 alloy target were studied for different filling materials. The explicit finite element analysis of PELE fragmentation was implemented with the stochastic failure criterion in AUTODYN-3D code. As the filling expanded, the fragments gained velocity and dispersed laterally, increasing the damage area considerably. The number and shape of PELE fragments differed depending on the impact pressure of the filling that fragmented during the penetration and lateral dispersion processes.

The goal of this study is to consider the application of alternative blended fuel to diesel engine. In this study, as the test fuels, we use a blended fuel mix of diesel and hydrogen peroxide. As the primary variable, we vary the mixing ratio of diesel and hydrogen peroxide in the experimental and numerical analysis. We perform an evaporative behavior characteristics analysis of the emulsified fuel using the Schlieren method. The numerical analysis was carried out based on results obtained from the experimental analysis using the commercial code(ANSYS CFX). Consequently, we found that the micro-explosion depends on the fraction of hydrogen peroxide, and we propose a numerical method for the quantitative evaporation analysis of emulsified fuel droplets using the calculation of the volume fraction in the oil domain.
